Position: Registered Nurse (RN)
Location: Jacksonville Area
Employment Type: Part-time, fixed monthly fee
Position Summary: We are seeking a compassionate and dedicated Registered Nurse (RN) to join our team. The RN will be the designated “Administrator” of a non-skilled home health agency. As the designated Administrator of a non-skilled home health agency, the RN will be responsible for credentialed oversight as required by AHCA regulations and other state and federal laws, monitoring the intake of clients, the oversight of home health aides who are providing services to clients, assisting with AHCA inspections, home health aide training, as well as adherence to all company policies and applicable regulations. The RN is only expected to work on a part-time basis and would primarily work remotely; provided, that, the RN must be available in-person should an emergency arise. The RN is not expected to provide direct non-skilled home health aide services to clients, but will assist the home health aides with understanding how to effectively serve clients, including developing and implementing client care plans.
